LaDonna Day, LCSW

LaDonna Day is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with eight years of experience. She helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and find practical next steps.

Day works in a straightforward, supportive way. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, healthier habits. Sessions focus on concrete skills - breathing and grounding practices, small behavior changes, and ways to shift negative thinking patterns.

People she sees often bring relationship strain, career uncertainty, caregiver stress, or the exhaustion that can come from compassion fatigue. She also supports concerns linked to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and navigating aging and geriatric issues. Conversations typically include problem-solving and creating manageable goals for daily life.

Her style is calm and practical. She aims to make each meeting feel like a space to be heard and to plan the next step. Over time the work centers on building confidence, improving communication, and reducing worry so clients can move forward.

LaDonna asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. From there she schedules sessions in a way that fits the person’s needs and timing.

Practical approaches for online stress and grief work

LaDonna uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep using based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue care during transitions or when rearranging schedules, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
